1 karinthinaḥ 4

1 lokā asmān khrīṣṭasya paricārakān īśvarasya nigūṭhavākyadhanasyādhyakṣāṁśca manyantāṁ|

Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of the Messiah, and stewards of the mysteries of YHWH.

2 kiñca dhanādhyakṣeṇa viśvasanīyena bhavitavyametadeva lokai ryācyate|

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

3 ato vicārayadbhi ryuṣmābhiranyaiḥ kaiścin manujai rvā mama parīkṣaṇaṁ mayātīva laghu manyate 'hamapyātmānaṁ na vicārayāmi|

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

4 mayā kimapyaparāddhamityahaṁ na vedmi kintvetena mama niraparādhatvaṁ na niścīyate prabhureva mama vicārayitāsti|

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is YHWH.

5 ata upayuktasamayāt pūrvvam arthataḥ prabhorāgamanāt pūrvvaṁ yuṣmābhi rvicāro na kriyatāṁ| prabhurāgatya timireṇa pracchannāni sarvvāṇi dīpayiṣyati manasāṁ mantraṇāśca prakāśayiṣyati tasmin samaya īśvarād ekaikasya praśaṁsā bhaviṣyati|

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until Yahushua come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of YHWH.

6 he bhrātaraḥ sarvvāṇyetāni mayātmānam āpallavañcoddiśya kathitāni tasyaitat kāraṇaṁ yuyaṁ yathā śāstrīyavidhimatikramya mānavam atīva nādariṣyadhba ītthañcaikena vaiparītyād apareṇa na ślāghiṣyadhba etādṛśīṁ śikṣāmāvayordṛṣṭāntāt lapsyadhve|

And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

7 aparāt kastvāṁ viśeṣayati? tubhyaṁ yanna datta tādṛśaṁ kiṁ dhārayasi? adatteneva dattena vastunā kutaḥ ślāghase?

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

8 idānīmeva yūyaṁ kiṁ tṛptā labdhadhanā vā? asmāsvavidyamāneṣu yūyaṁ kiṁ rājatvapadaṁ prāptāḥ? yuṣmākaṁ rājatvaṁ mayābhilaṣitaṁ yatastena yuṣmābhiḥ saha vayamapi rājyāṁśino bhaviṣyāmaḥ|

Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I wished indeed ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.

9 preritā vayaṁ śeṣā hantavyāśceveśvareṇa nidarśitāḥ| yato vayaṁ sarvvalokānām arthataḥ svargīyadūtānāṁ mānavānāñca kautukāspadāni jātāḥ|

For I think that YHWH hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.

10 khrīṣṭasya kṛte vayaṁ mūḍhāḥ kintu yūyaṁ khrīṣṭena jñāninaḥ, vayaṁ durbbalā yūyañca sabalāḥ, yūyaṁ sammānitā vayañcāpamānitāḥ|

We are fools for the Messiah's sake, but ye are wise in the Messiah; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

11 vayamadyāpi kṣudhārttāstṛṣṇārttā vastrahīnāstāḍitā āśramarahitāśca santaḥ

Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;

12 karmmaṇi svakarān vyāpārayantaśca duḥkhaiḥ kālaṁ yāpayāmaḥ| garhitairasmābhirāśīḥ kathyate dūrīkṛtaiḥ sahyate ninditaiḥ prasādyate|

And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:

13 vayamadyāpi jagataḥ sammārjanīyogyā avakarā iva sarvvai rmanyāmahe|

Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

14 yuṣmān trapayitumahametāni likhāmīti nahi kintu priyātmajāniva yuṣmān prabodhayāmi|

I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.

15 yataḥ khrīṣṭadharmme yadyapi yuṣmākaṁ daśasahasrāṇi vinetāro bhavanti tathāpi bahavo janakā na bhavanti yato'hameva susaṁvādena yīśukhrīṣṭe yuṣmān ajanayaṁ|

For though ye have ten thousand instructors in the Messiah, yet have ye not many fathers: for in the Messiah Yahushua I have begotten you through the evangel.

16 ato yuṣmān vinaye'haṁ yūyaṁ madanugāmino bhavata|

Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.

17 ityarthaṁ sarvveṣu dharmmasamājeṣu sarvvatra khrīṣṭadharmmayogyā ye vidhayo mayopadiśyante tān yo yuṣmān smārayiṣyatyevambhūtaṁ prabhoḥ kṛte priyaṁ viśvāsinañca madīyatanayaṁ tīmathiyaṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ preṣitavānahaṁ|

For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in YHWH, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in the Messiah, as I teach every where in every assembly.

18 aparamahaṁ yuṣmākaṁ samīpaṁ na gamiṣyāmīti buddhvā yuṣmākaṁ kiyanto lokā garvvanti|

Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.

19 kintu yadi prabhericchā bhavati tarhyahamavilambaṁ yuṣmatsamīpamupasthāya teṣāṁ darpadhmātānāṁ lokānāṁ vācaṁ jñāsyāmīti nahi sāmarthyameva jñāsyāmi|

But I will come to you shortly, if YHWH will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.

20 yasmādīśvarasya rājatvaṁ vāgyuktaṁ nahi kintu sāmarthyayuktaṁ|

For the kingdom of YHWH is not in word, but in power.

21 yuṣmākaṁ kā vāñchā? yuṣmatsamīpe mayā kiṁ daṇḍapāṇinā gantavyamuta premanamratātmayuktena vā?

What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
